On this day, Xia Houyuan's body was escorted back by the soldiers. Novel rankings
Cao Cao led the generals in the army and went out to greet him. Regardless of whether Xia Houyuan should be responsible for the death of 6,000 elite soldiers and the fall of Guandu, Xia Houyuan did die fighting hard. He did his best for the Cao family.
At the gate of the camp, in the eyes of all the generals, Cao Cao ordered the coffin to be opened.
Several soldiers immediately opened the coffin, and Cao Cao saw Xia Houyuan's headless body inside. The body had been treated to a certain extent to ensure that it would not rot in a short period of time, but it still exuded a corpse smell.[
Cao Cao and the generals behind him were silent for a while. Then, Cao Cao stretched out his hand and patted Xia Houyuan lightly on the shoulder.
"Go with peace of mind, Miaocai. I will avenge you for the brotherhood." After muttering to himself for a moment, Cao Cao took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I swear here that I will break through Xudu and uproot the Han Dynasty.
Kill Liu Xie and his son, and destroy Dong Chengman's family."
This roar was full of Cao Cao's anger, the fall of Xudu, the loss of hegemony, Xun Yu's betrayal, and the deaths of Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan in succession. At this moment, the anger in Cao Cao's heart completely exploded. He wanted to bloodbath the Liu family.
, Dong wanted to comfort Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan’s spirit in heaven.
"At the end of the day, we will definitely fight a bloody battle for Duke Ming and conquer Xudu." The generals all bowed down in unison.
"Thank you, generals." Cao Cao took a deep breath and raised his fist in salute. After making this oath full of revenge against Liu Xie and his son, and against Dong Cheng, Cao Cao's emotions were vented to a certain extent.
"Don't bury it, take the head and come back." After Cao Cao gave this order, he stopped and looked to the east. Cao Chun should be chasing Dong Cheng now. As time goes by, Dong Cheng's war horses will definitely
Because of the wear and tear of the horses' hooves, they suffered heavy losses. Without supplements, they would not be able to become cavalry.
Dong Cheng did not return to Xudu, but instead traveled abroad. He seemed to be in high spirits, but he was also seeking his own death.
Of course, Cao Cao also knew that his horses would suffer heavy losses. But as long as he could kill Dong Cheng, restore the morale of Cao's army, and immediately launch a war to attack Xudu, Cao Cao was willing to risk everything.
Because Cao Jun was everywhere outside the city of Xudu, it was more difficult for the spies from the Han Dynasty to move, so it took a few days for the news to reach Xudu.
Imperial Palace, inside the East Palace Wing.
Liu Feng was sitting on the throne, and below him was Jiang Wan who came in to report the news. Now Jiang Wan is serving as minister at the Shangshutai. Liu Feng has not met Jiang Wan privately for several days, but he is also very concerned about Jiang Wan's condition. Currently, Jiang Wan
Wan, on the other hand, lived a relatively fulfilling and busy life.
It is said that gold always shines, so Jiang Wan's ability lies there. After entering the Shangshu Desk, he quickly became the right-hand man of Shangshu Ling Xun Yu. While he was busy, he should also be very satisfied.
However, Liu Feng did not pay attention to these things today. When Jiang Wan finished reporting, Liu Feng asked with a surprised look: "Did General Chariot and Cavalry really kill Xia Houyuan? And he also attacked Guandu?"
"That's it." Jiang Wan said with a smile after hearing this, and then he said: "I heard that Cao Cao was very angry. Not long ago, Xia Houyuan's coffin returned to Cao's camp. Cao Cao led his troops to greet him and made a
I vowed to settle the accounts after the Autumn, to annihilate the Han Dynasty, and to destroy all the chariots and cavalry generals."
"Ambition is commendable, but he must be able to do it. If he can't do it, it will always be just a slogan. It will only show Cao Cao's incompetence." Liu Feng was not angry when he heard this, but just said with a sneer.
"The resurgence of the Han Dynasty is unstoppable." Jiang Wan felt that it made sense and said with a smile.
"Haha." Liu Feng chuckled, feeling really happy. Not only Dong Cheng remembered, but he also remembered that if Zhao Yun hadn't been present, he would have been killed by Xia Houyuan. From a personal point of view, getting rid of Xia Houyuan was a must.
From a distance, he felt even more joyful than killing Cao Ren.
I really want to take a look at the head of the thief of the Hou Hou Xia. Liu Feng thought very vindictively. After a long time, Liu Feng came to his senses and remembered something. He asked Jiang Wan: "Did Gong Yan just say that the general on horseback is heading east?"
, headed for the Central Plains. And Cao Chun led his troops to pursue the chariot general?" [
"Exactly." Jiang Wan said with a smile when he heard this. He was also a confidant, so he naturally knew the purpose of Liu Feng's question.
"This guy fell into the trap. Our old general, maybe after killing Xia Houyuan, he can actually achieve his original goal of leaving the city and defeat Cao Jun's cavalry." Liu Feng said with a smile.
"With the power of horseshoes, there is a lot to be done." Jiang Wan smiled even more when he heard this and nodded.
"Xia Houyuan was beheaded and Guandu fell. Cao Cao's army must have lost morale. If the tiger and leopard cavalry are invincible in the world and some of them are killed by the cavalry general, then Cao Cao will really have no face left. As long as he is given one year.
If Cao Cao's cavalry comes again, Gu will be able to resist it." Liu Feng let out a long breath, looking forward to it in his heart.
Jiang Wan nodded in agreement. Then, the monarch and his ministers discussed some more things. Because Jiang Wan was quite busy, they left soon after.
The relaxed joy of Liu, Feng, Jun and Chen was just a microcosm of what was happening inside Xudu. Except for a few ministers, almost all the soldiers, common people, generals and ministers felt very happy and had a premonition that the war was about to be far away.
Both Cao Cao and Liu Feng had absolute confidence in their cavalry. Cao Chun, the commander of tens of thousands of Cao's troops, was also very confident in his cavalry. Dong Cheng, the chariot general, was also confident in his cavalry.
In the end, who will win, or do they need to be drawn into a fight to determine the winner?
This is what the upper echelons of both sides expected, and Dong Cheng and Cao Chun did exactly what they did. Ever since Dong Cheng sent his troops to the east, they have been scurrying around to commit crimes. They walked around and wandered west. They relied on the agility of the cavalry to avoid some
Cao Jun's pass and army.
If there is food to eat, they will sleep in the open air. If there is no food to eat, they will attack a small county town and open the granaries to make up for the lack of food, which has no purpose.
On the contrary, Cao Chun sent tens of thousands of troops to pursue and intercept Dong Cheng. He had several opportunities to stun Dong Cheng, but in the end he lost a thousand miles and Dong Cheng escaped. This is how the two sides began to fight in the Central Plains.
, to gallop.
You chased me and I ran away, starting a very different kind of fighting.
This kind of different kind of fighting may have destroyed the bamboo slips recording history, and it is impossible to find that such a war happened in ancient times.
